Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.
- 2
Cook the Rice
In a rice cooker, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 2.5 cups of water. Cook according to rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
- 3
Season the Rice
Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Microwave for 30 seconds to dissolve, then fold this mixture into the rice gently with a spatula. Allow to cool slightly.
Prepare Filling
- 4
Mix Spicy Tuna
In a bowl, combine cubed spicy tuna with 1 tablespoon of chili sauce. Mix well and set aside.

Prepare Yellowtail and Crab
Slice the yellowtail and prepare the cooked crab meat. Set aside for assembly.
Assemble the Roll

Lay Nori Sheet
Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.

Spread Sushi Rice
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.

Add Filling
In the center of the rice, add a line of the spicy tuna mixture, followed by slices of yellowtail and a layer of crab meat.
- 9
Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, lift the edge of the mat closest to you and roll it over the filling, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Continue rolling until you reach the edge of the nori.

Seal the Roll
Wet the edge of the nori with water to seal the roll. Press gently to secure.
